Pointless Goals I Aim to Achieve

1. I would like to become more proficient at finding amazing things on Etsy. I do not think I have reached my full amazing-things-finding potential.

2. I want to Twitter more often and I want more people I know to be on Twitter. I don't know why.

3. I would like to fill up the space on my iPod (I'm really darn close at the moment) so I can get a new one before my old one dies - although it's lasted a pretty long time (almost three years).

4. I would like to get to a point where the songs on my iPod do not include Christmas songs. I have a lot of Christmas songs. I'm thinking that when I get a new iPod, my old one (considering it still works at the time) will only store my holiday music. This is how crazy I am about organizing my music.

5. I would like to completely overcome my hatred of balloons. That's right, I've gone from fear to hate. That's improvement! At least now I can tolerate being in a room with them...as long as I don't have to touch them and as long as they aren't popping.

6. I want to see the Jim Henson exhibit before it's gone.

7. I want to drive up to Luray Caverns once the leaves start changing. Skyline Drive is amazingly beautiful in the fall.

8. For the sake of having an even number of points on this list, I'm going to tell you all about the guy who just called and left a message. He had a beautiful accent. Scottish/Irish. That's it then, my final goal is to really learn how to tell the difference between those two accents instead of just instantly melt whenever I hear them.

I can help you with that last one! Irish people have this nice little lilt and sound magically delicious. Scottish people have a completely different accent and there are usually more gutteral (from your gutter) sounds and harsher vowels. :) So there you go.
Also, I commend your balloon progress, although I'm not sure what scale determines that hate is better than fear. Last time I checked, Yoda said that "fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering." Did I look that quote up? No. But Yoda is a pretty reliable source, and I'm a pretty reliable quoter, so you may want to think that through a little.
